    No disrespect. I LOVE these plays.. I have performed both Hal in Henry IV 1&2 and Henry in Henry V... I’m just very excited to bring this story to the screen in a different way. Skip if you will or judge on its merit when it happens.

    I very much enjoyed people’s recommendations on Shakespeare for children on Front Row. I would go for Macbeth as the perfect entry play. (And Love’s Labour’s Lost as the opposite of that).

    I have a ticket for performance tonight at 7:30 pm at the aptly named Monarch Tavern. I *also* have walking pneumonia. So who would like to see some brilliant Shakespeare while enjoying a pint? DM me.

    Forgot to mention that The Tempest is increasingly becoming THE entry point for Shakespeare in UK primary schools. Children really seem to relate to it. (Pic: perform The Tempest for )

    And I really like what he's done with the Saint Crispin's Day speech.

    Prospero in The Tempest (Act IV, Scene 1), which even slips in a mention of the Globe...

    Shamefully, I neglected to credit for the above graphic – so belated thanks for that! Check out for all your Robert Pattinson fan needs. (The connection is that Robert may be up for a part in the Shakespeare adaptation)

    And at least three major publishers do Shakespeare 'retold for children' books (£4.99 each, but you can often get the full set for £9.99). These are great for the grown-ups too – if you don't know Shakespeare, you can learn alongside your little ones.

    The Pop-Up Shakespeare book from the Reduced Shakespeare Company is a delightful way for families with young children to enter and explore Shakespeare's worlds.

    The CBeebies production of A Midsummer Night's Dream (2016) is a fantastic introduction to Shakespeare for younger children (and their grown-ups). Also, there are really good Horrible Histories-style touring shows like the Ruff Guide to Shakespeare.

    yo we're really happy for you, we're going to let you finish (making this film), but Shakespeare is one of the greatest storytellers OF ALL TIME

    The Joel Edgerton Henry IV/Henry V thing is going to be "Game of Thrones meets Shakespeare". But with all the Shakespeare taken out.

    Actually, Joel Edgerton's dialogue for Henry V is amazing.
